If you're interested in learning ecological documentation, getting to know a site's natural history, and building a sense of belonging, now is a great time to get involved. EwA is active across all our study sites, but with some of us traveling or on vacation, we need more hands to keep surveys running regularly. Our next volunteer orientations are: Each orientation introduces new and prospective volunteers to the core skills of observing and recording plants and wildlife. See the full summer and fall schedule [here]. Come explore, learn, and contribute with us. 📲 Come prepared: install our participatory science platform and join EwA Pheno Lite, Trail Report, or any other project that interests you [instructions here]. We look forward to exploring with you! _________ 📷 Banner Pic ➢ Heat regulating Eastern Amberwing (Perithemis tenera). This heat-regulating strategy exhibited here is called “obelisk posture” (see photoset), in which a dragonfly holds its abdomen almost vertical, in order to minimize the surface area of it being warmed by the sun. © Claire O'Neill, please credit accordingly. _________ |
